Young Cowboy

Juvenile Starling [Sturnus vulgaris]

 

There are lots (and lots!) of young starlings visiting my garden feeders, at the moment. Some of their parents are still in attendance, too, so when the descend or fly over, it looks like I have my own murmuration.

 

They are very noisy and can be quite nippy with each other, at times. They completely ignore the smaller song birds in the garden, but the little guys can’t get a look in at the feeders for these big brutes. They are also still quite clumsy and are very funny to watch. Roar into town and declare a holiday.
